Image for Sunderland: Fans react to Corry Evans injury news

Sunderland fans have been reacting to news surrounding Corry Evans that has emerged from the club.

The Black Cats suffered their first blip of the season last night as they fell 1-0 to Burton Albion in a game that they dominated in terms of possession, shots and shots on target, but weren’t able to come away with anything.

Merseyside derby, Liverpool and Everton

Who scored the opening goal in Liverpool's 4-3 win over Leeds United at Anfield in September?

Missing from the game last night was captain Corry Evans, who has only just joined the club having signed for them this summer, and it has been revealed today that the Northern Irishman will “miss the next 10-14 days due to a hamstring injury”.

The news was passed on to supporters via the club’s official Twitter account, and it brought out a number of despondent fans who weren’t happy with the news:

“We should never have got him he’s too injury-prone.”

“Big blow”
“Will be a big miss he plays a key role in the side gets the ball down switches the play the skipper will be missed looking forward to seeing him back fit and playing again”
“Blackburn fans Warned us”
“So it begins”
“See you soon skipper”

Have you been impressed by Sunderland under Johnson so far?

YES

YES

NO

Thankfully it is only a minor injury, so he should be back up to speed before too long, it’s not as if he’s out for 2-3 months, then the fans’ worrying might have been a little more understandable.
